Follow-up to previous SCD thread

I created the following thread for the issue I had with SCD.
SCD question from ODIEXPERT.COM
This is a flow-up thread to that.
I am able to execute the mapping fine. But in the target table Surrogate_key is null. Also InitialTime stamp and End Time Stamp columns are also null.
Please advice

Summary of few general repetitive issues with SCD Type 2 Make sure you have marked all the columns of SCD with required properties namely
SURROGATE_KEY
NATURAL_KEY
ADD_ROW_ON_CHANGE
UPDATE_ROW_ON_CHANGE
CONTROL_FLAG
STARTING_TIMESTAMP
ENDING_TIMESTAMP
SURROGATE_KEY - Needs to have a sequence ,Mapped to Target
[ *SCHEMA.SEQUENCE_NAME.NEXTVAL* ]
STARTING_TIMESTAMP AND ENDING_TIMESTAMP - Map with SYSDATE [ if datatype is DATE , ] else SYSTIMESTAMP [ if datatype is TIMESTAMP]
CONTROL_FLAG -1
NOTE :- ODI automatically populates ENDING TIMESTAMP AND CONTROL_FLAG , yet they need to be populated with a constant.
ERRORS
- If you are having invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification at Historize Old Rows
SOLUTION
- Enable the FLOW_CONTROL - YES and select the appropriate CKM ( CKM_ORACLE for Oracle ]
Also make sure you have marked the required columns as ENDING_TIMESTAMP and CONTROL_FLAG
ERROR
- If you are getting invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification at Flag rows on Update or Update Existing Rows.
SOLUTION
- Mark the required columns with UPDATE_ROW_ON_CHANGE property.
Generally all the errors occurs since the columns have not been marked with SCD properties correctly .

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

This seems like a really dumb question to me, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I reply to previous email thread, shouldn't I be able to add an attachment? Or can you only add attachments on brand new emails?

Hi
You can do that using workflow.
Using workflow you can send the mail in SAP Inbox and recipient can open the mail from his/her SAP Inbox.
You can do it programmatically also:

Follow up on an old thread about memory utilization

This thread was active a few months ago, unfortunately its taken me until now
for me to have enough spare time to craft a response.

Subj: Re: memory utilization
As a general rule, I would agree that memory utilzation problems tend to be
developer-induced. I believe that is generally true for most development
environments. However, this developer was having a little trouble finding
out how NOT to induce them. After scouring the documentation for any
references to object destructors, or clearing memory, or garbage collection,
or freeing objects, or anything else we could think of, all we found was how
to clear the rows from an Array object. We did find some reference to
setting the object to NIL, but no indication that this was necessary for the
memory to be freed.
I believe the documentation, and probably some Tech-Notes, address the issue of
freeing memory.
Automatic memory management frees a memory object when no references to the
memory
object exist. Since references are the reason that a memory object lives,
removing
the references is the only way that memory objects can be freed. This is why the
manuals and Tech-Notes talk about setting references to NIL (I.E. freeing memory
in an automatic system is done by NILing references and not by calling freeing
routines.) This is not an absolute requirement (as you have probably noticed
that
most things are freed even without setting references to NIL) but it accelerates
the freeing of 'dead' objects and reduces the memory utilization because it
tends
to carry around less 'dead' objects.
It is my understanding that in this environment, the development tool
(Forte') claims to handle memory utilization and garbage collection for you.
If that is the case, then it is my opinion that it shoud be nearly
impossible for the developer to create memory-leakage problems without going
outside the tool and allocating the memory directly. If that is not the
case, then we should have destructor methods available to us so that we can
handle them correctly. I know when I am finished with an object, and I
would have no problem calling a "destroy" or "cleanup" method. In fact, I
would prefer that to just wondering if Forte' will take care of it for me.
It is actually quite easy to create memory leaks. Here are some examples:
Have a heap attribute in a service object. Keep inserting things into
the heap and never take them out (I.E. forgot to take them out). Since
service objects are always live, everything in the heap is also live.
Have an exception handler that catches exceptions and doesn't do
anything
with the error manager stack (I.E. it doesn't call task.ErrMgr.Clear).
If the handler is activated repeatedly in the same task, the stack of
exceptions will grow until you run out of memory or the task terminates
(task termination empties the error manager stack.)
It seems to me that this is a weakness in the tool that should be addressed.
Does anyone else have any opinions on this subject?
Actually, the implementation of the advanced features supported by the Forte
product
results in some complications in areas that can be hard to explain. Memory
management
happens to be one of the areas most effected. A precise explanation to a
non-deterministic process is not possible, but the following attempts to
explain the
source of the non-determinism.
o The ability to call from compiled C++ to interpreted TOOL and back
to compiled C++.
This single ability causes most of the strange effects mentioned in
this thread.
For C++ code the location of all variables local to a method is not
know
(I.E. C++ compilers can't tell you at run-time what is a variable
and what
isn't.) We use the pessimistic assumption that anything that looks
like a
reference to a memory object is a reference to a memory object. For
interpreted
TOOL code the interpreter has exact knowledge of what is a reference
and what
isn't. But the TOOL interpreter is itself a C++ method. This means
that any
any memory objects referenced by the interpreter during the
execution of TOOL
code could be stored in local variables in the interpreter. The TOOL
interpreter
runs until the TOOL code returns or the TOOL code calls into C++.
This means
that many levels of nested TOOL code can be the source of values
assigned to
local variables in the TOOL interpreter.
This is the complicated reason that answers the question: Why doesn't a
variable that is created and only used in a TOOL method that has
returned
get freed? It is likely that the variable is referenced by local
variables
in the TOOL interpreter method. This is also why setting the
variable to NIL
before returning doesn't seem to help. If the variable in question is a
Array than invoke Clear() on the Array seems to help, because even
though the
Array is still live the objects referenced by the Array have less
references.
The other common occurrence of this effect is in a TextData that
contains a
large string. In this case, invoking SetAllocatedSize(0) can be used
to NIL
the reference to the memory object that actually holds the sequence of
characters. Compositions of Arrays and TextData's (I.E. a Array of
TextData's
that all have large TextDatas.) can lead to even more problems.
When the TOOL code is turned into a compiled partition this effect
is not
noticed because the TOOL interpreter doesn't come into play and
things execute
the way most people expect. This is one area that we try to improve
upon, but it is complicated by the 15 different platforms, and thus
C++ compilers,
that we support. Changes that work on some machines behave
differently on other
machines. At this point in time, it occasionally still requires that
a TOOL
programmer actively address problems. Obviously we try to reduce
this need over
time.
o Automatic memory management for C++ with support for multi-processor
threads.
Supporting automatic memory management for C++ is something that is
not a very
common feature. It requires a coding standard that defines what is
acceptable and
what isn't. Additionally, supporting multi-processor threads adds
its own set of
complications. Luckily TOOL users are insulated from this because
the TOOL to C++
code generator knows the coding standard. In the end you are
impacted by the C++
compiler and possibly the differences that occur between different
compilers and/or
different processors (I.E. Intel X86 versus Alpha.) We have seen
applications that
had memory utilization differences of up to 2:1.
There are two primary sources of differences.
The first source is how compilers deal with dead assignments. The
typical TOOL
fragment that is being memory manager friendly might perform the
following:
temp : SomeObject = new;
... // Use someObject
temp = NIL;
return;
When this is translated to C++ it looks very similar in that temp
will be assigned the
value NULL. Most compilers are smart enough to notice that 'temp' is
never used again
because the method is going to return immediately. So they skip
setting 'temp' to NULL.
In this case it should be harmless that the statement was ignored
(see next example for a different variation.) In more
complicated examples that involve loops (especially long
lived event loops) a missed NIL assignment can lead to leaking the
memory object whose
reference didn't get set to NIL (incidentally this is the type of
problem that causes
the TOOL interpreter to leak references.)
The second source is a complicated interaction caused by history of
method invocations.
Consider the following:
Method A() invokes method B() which invokes method C().
Method C() allocates a temporary TextData, invokes
SetAllocatedSize(1000000)
does some more work and then returns.
Method B() returns.
Method A() now invokes method D().
Method D() allocates something that cause the memory manager to look
for memory objects to free.
Now, even though we have returned out of method C() we have starting
invoking
methods. This causes us to use re-use portions of the C++ stack used to
maintain the history of method invocation and space for local variables.
There is some probability that the reference to the 'temporary' TextData
will now be visible to the memory manager because it was not overwritten
by the invocation of D() or anything invoked by method D().
This example answers questions of the form: Why does setting a local
variable to
NIL and returning and then invoking task.Part.Os.RecoverMemory not
cause the
object referenced by the local variable to be freed?
In most cases these effects cause memory utilization to be slightly
higher
than expected (in well behaved cases it's less than 5%.) This is a small
price to pay for the advantages of automatic memory management.
An object-oriented programming style supported by automatic memory
management makes it
easy to extended existing objects or sets of objects by composition.
For example:
Method A() calls method B() to get the next record from the
database. Method B()
is used because we always get records, objects, of a certain
type from
method B() so that we can reuse code.
Method A() enters each row into a hash table so that it can
implement a cache
of the last N records seen.
Method A() returns the record to its caller.
With manual memory management there would have to be some interface
that allows
Method A() and/or the caller of A() to free the record. This
requires
that the programmer have a lot more knowledge about the
various projects
and classes that make up the application. If freeing doesn'
happen you
have a memory leak, if you free something while its still
being used the
results are unpredictable and most often fatal.
With automatic memory management, method A() can 'free' its
reference by removing
the reference from the hash table. The caller can 'free' its
reference by
either setting the reference to NIL or getting another
record and referring
to the new record instead of the old record.
Unfortunately, this convenience and power doesn't come for free. Consider
the following,
which comes from the Forte' run-time system:
A Window-class object is a very complex beast. It is composed of two
primary parts:
the UserWindow object which contains the variables declared by the
user, and the
Window object which contains the object representation of the window
created in
the window workshop. The UserWindow and the Window reference each
other. The Window
references the Menu and each Widget placed on the Window directly. A
compound Window
object, like a Panel, can also have objects place in itself. These
are typically
called the children. Each of the children also has to know the
identity of it's
Mom so they refer to there parent object. It should be reasonably
obvious that
starting from any object that make up the window any other object
can be found.
This means that if the memory manager finds a reference to any
object in the Window
it can also find all other objects in the window. Now if a reference
to any object
in the Window can be found on the program stack, all objects in the
window can
also be found. Since there are so many objects and the work involved
in displaying
a window can be very complicated (I.E. the automatic geometry
management that
layouts the window when it is first opened or resized.) there are
potentially many
different reference that would cause the same problem. This leads to
a higher than
normal probability that a reference exists that can cause the whole
set of Window
objects to not be freed.
We solved this problem in the following fashion:
Added a new Method called RecycleMemory() on UserWindow.
Documented that when a window is not going to be used again
that it is
preferably that RecycleMemory() is invoked instead
of Close().
The RecycleMemory() method basically sets all references
from parent to
child to NIL and sets all references from child to
parent to NIL.
Thus all objects are isolated from other objects
that make up
the window.
Changed a few methods on UserWindow, like Open(), to check
if the caller
is trying to open a recycled window and throw an
exception.
This was feasible because the code to traverse the parent/child
relationship
ready existed and was being used at close time to perform other
bookkeeping
operations on each of the Widgets.
To summarize:
Automatic memory management is less error prone and more productive but
doesn't come totally for free.
There are things that the programmer can do that assists the memory
manager:
o Set object reference to NIL when known to be correct (this
is the
way the memory is deallocated in an automatic system.)
o Use methods like Clear() on Array and SetAllocatedSize()
on TextData to
that allow these objects to set their internal
references to NIL
when known to be correct.
o Use the RecycleMemory() method on windows, especially very
complicated
windows.
o Build similar type of methods into your own objects when
needed.
o If you build highly connected structures that are very
large in the
number of object involved think that how it might be
broken
apart gracefully (it defeats some of the purpose of
automatic
management to go to great lengths to deal with the
problem.)
o Since program stacks are the source of the 'noise'
references, try
and do things with less tasks (this was one of the
reasons that
we implemented event handlers so that a single task
can control
many different windows.)
Even after doing all this its easy to still have a problem.
Internally we have
access to special tools that can help point at the problem so that
it can be
solved. We are attempting to give users UNSUPPORTED access to these
tools for
Release 3. This should allow users to more easily diagnose problems.
It also
tends to enlighten one about how things are structured and/or point out
inconsistencies that are the source of known/unknown bugs.

I beleive he means to reformat it like a floppy disk.
Go into My Computer, Locate the drive letter associated with your iPod(normally says iPod in it, and shows under removable storage).
Right click on it and choose format - make sure to not have the "quick format" option checked. Then let it format.
If that doesnt work, There are steps somewhere in the 5th gen forum( dont have the link off hand) to try to use the usbstor.sys to update the USB drivers for the Nano/5th gen.

Format new GTech so it does not cause BOOT ISSUES (follow up to previous post)?

someone on a previous thread (name is escaping me but they are always an awesome help) clued me in to the idea that my GTech external drive was preventing proper Option Boot on startup due to something in the ware on the drive.
i now have a new replacement drive (same exact drive) and i am wondering if simply formatting the drive in some way will avoid this issue or if in fact it was simply something bad having to do with the drive or if in fact it is likely that the new drive will have the same problem.
unfortunatly i cannot find the thread (ATM) where they gave me a specific question to ask of the drive manufacturer.
anyway, i am wondering if i should sell the replacement and get a new brand or if i should send the old one back and use this new one.
TIA

How to Get a List of All XMLElements (Follow up to previous posting)

(CS5, Win7, 64Bit)
I need a collection (or array, etc.) of all the XMLElement objects in a given document in flat form (just like the "Structure Tree"'s hierarchichal view - only flatened).
I could not find any "normal" way (i.e., built-in property or method) to get at the information. Instead, I found that I had to recurse through the entire XMLElement tree, starting with the Root Element. For a large document, this can take close to a ten minutes, and sometimes I have to do this for an InDesgin Book containing over ten enormous INDD files.
After "கற்பனை Imagine" responded to my previous post about how to get all the XMLTags, I assumed that myDocument.xmlElements would return a collection of all the XMLElements in the Document. Unfortunately, it does not - it returns only the Root XMLElement. Thus, I have to recurse therough the hierarchy of XMLElements under the Root XMLElement - which takes a very long time.
There HAS to be a better way, right?
Would it be better were I to recurse through all PageItems in the document and then recurse through each PageItem's XMLElement tree? I assume that wouldn't make a big difference either way.
I'm open to suggestions...
TIA,
mlavie

What do you intend to do with this flat layout of XMLElements? That probably matters a great deal.
If performance is really at play, you can try using XML Rules instead of interacting with the DOM from JavaScript. But they are complicated and confusing and more suited to declarative programming.
Imagine suggests:
var a = myroot.evaluateXPathExpression ("//*");
xmlObjArray.push(a[b--]);
Why not stop there? evaluateXPathExpression already returns an array, why iterate over it and push its elements into a new array? What's wrong with the return value?

Re: Follow up on an old thread about memoryutilization

Derek,
Thank you for finally giving me a more in-depth explanation of some of the
complexities of automatic memory management. I am certain that when you get
these and other problems ironed out, that it will be a very powerful
feature. In the meantime, however, all we have is this list of things that
we can do to "help" the memory manager. I don't mean to be difficult or
stubborn here, but I am having a hard time seeing how this is any
improvement handling the memory myself. If I must still be concerned about
freeing the object references, then what has the memory manager gained for
me?
In fact, it is actually more difficult, because I do not have the
destructor methods available to me. When I have a class that contains
other objects, I usually instantiate those objects or arrays in the Init()
method for that class. The cleanest and most natural place to "nil" those
same objects or clear() the arrays would usually be in the destructor
method for the same class. I can understand that you would not want to
allow the destructor to be invoked manually, but I do not understand why we
cannot provide cleanup code to be executed whenever an object is being
destroyed.
In short, I am standing by my original statement, which is simply that it
is a weakness in the tool, if it claims to automatically handle memory
management for you, but fails to do so completely or consistently. I can
see that you are attempting to address that weakness, and I trust you will
be successful. At that point, I will join you in singing the praises of
automatic memory management.
By the way, I also do not understand why we must explicitly instantiate
each object. It seems to me that if you are truly handling memory
automatically, then the "new" would be invoked automatically as soon as it
is needed. I know that is the way it works in other tools that attempt to
handle memory for you. This is no big deal, just a philosophical question.
Are you doing automatic memory management, or just automatic memory freeing?

There are probably many, but Moyea offers a vast array of FLV utilities/editors, and they are very good.
One option, although not a cheap one, is PrPro CS5. It allows direct FLV input (under most circumstances), and with the included Encore, will also Export a DVD Project as Flash. Note: PrPro, prior to about CS4, required the Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere Pro module. This was an add-on option, and worked very, very well. I use it in PrPro 2.0, with no issues. As of CS4, that module would not work, but with the CS4.2 update, PrPro included native FLV Import.
As I stated, there are probably many other options, but those are two that I have used, and they work seamlessly and very well.
I would love to see Moyea offer an FLV Import module for PrE, but so far, that is only in development. I have corresponded with them, but they cannot share any estimated delivery date. I am not a coder, so have no idea what would need to be done to adapt the PrPro Importer module to PrE. Also, Adobe made changes in PrPro w/ CS4, as mentioned above, and Moyea dropped development on an update for their Importer module, when Adobe released CS4.2. There was no need for the additional Moyea add-in. Might have spelled the death of a PrE module, or maybe there are enough differences, to make it a tough task. I just do not know.
Good luck,

Bridge CC - Cannot Open Files following Uninstall of Previous Version

I recently updated to Creative Cloud (Windows 7). Today I unstalled CS6. Following the uninstall, I can no longer open a .psd, .ai or .indd file from Bridge CC. I receive an error from Windows that the CS5 version of Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign cannot be found (see example below). I can open the files directly from the CC application. I can also open .psd files from Mini Bridge.
RAW files (.cr2) open in ACR without problem.
I can open a .psd directly from Windows Explorer into Photoshop; the same with .ai files in Illustrator and .indd files in InDesign.
I cleared my Bridge cache.
Any help would be appreciated.

Follow up on previous question

I am in a hurry as I have to show my slideshow/dvd project at a party tonight and can't figure out how to play it full screen. Please help! When hooked up to a projector will it automatically convery to full screen? Can't try it until the party. Scary. Also how do you watch it on your computer full screen. I'm new to Apple Thanks so much!

That is scary since you really don't want to have an entire audience waiting while you figure out how to play a dvd on a laptop /large screen projector. The last thing you want is everyone gathered at your laptop trying to look at the laptop's screen. Or you could be like my wife in her French classroom, and request help from a student (or in your case an audience member).
Here's a tip if all else fails. Power everything down and make certain you have all cables and power cords connected correctly. Now power up the lcd projector and lastly your mac. If things are connected properly it will default to the correct settings and you can figure things out from there. Macs are relatively easy to work.
I wish you luck ....

With an HD/AVCHD camera it is not recording in either PAL or NTSC as this is a analogue mode - so the issue issue of format is only relevant if i playback on a analogue TV. We have a digital tv so i record on AVCHD, deal in that format in FCE and burn to DVD (not sure in what format) play on DVD player through the digital TV.
If that is all correct then why do the manufacturers, in my case Canon HF10, talk about an NTSC and PAL version and then price differently - comparing the spec sheets from the Canon site I can see no difference. Am I missing something?

Hi Tom
The thing i was trying to establish was whether really there was a difference (other than price ) in the so called versions of the Canon HF10. The specs are exactly the same. My assumption is that as the cam records in AVCHD unless you intend to play back thro a PAL or NTSC TV (bearing in mind most European PAL sets play NTSC as well) it makes no odds which camera.
My plan- and this is what I need to check - is to record and import into FCE taking your advice not to record in the highest quality to save rendering on import. After editing can export through FCE to PAL or NTSC DVD version for playing on TV.
Does that sound right
PS I have found your book on FCE very helpful to date !!!!
